two things that makes that very amazing

1. we've had numerous deep balls dropped where drew put it right on the money (similar to the opening play of the 2009 Patriots game, only no devery Henderson to catch it)

2. not until the last two games have teams started really respecting our run game and opened up opportunities downfield. We've been effective all year, but in Ingram's absence they just weren't coming to the line.

Accuracy % includes drops, but it does impact the TDs and yardage

And we really didn't go downfield that much vs. Carolina. Pretty conservative gameplan. We had tremendous success in PA over the last 2 weeks
